Fletcher-class Destroyers
The Petal-class is a class of destroyers used by Human mercenary companies.
The lead ship of the class, the EMS Fletcher, was commissioned 77 years ago. Initially viewed as cheap and utilitarian, its lack of bells and whistles proved to be beneficial as their simple design has proven robust. Though the entire concept of the destroyer is outdated, much less this class of warship, several remain in use to this day because of their reliability and inexpensive maintenance costs.
